    I am not sure that I am in the right place to ask this but here it goes.

    I was using Acronis Drive Cleanser on an external HDD while my laptop came unplugged. It ran until the laptop shut down. After I plugged the laptop back in, it will not recoginze the external HDD now. I know that it did not finish cleaning it as my battery could not last that long.

    What do I do now? Is there some trick or another program that can get this HDD going again?

    Win XP Home.

    Extremely elementary question. Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 Trial. Should I choose run or save to download?
